I remember my fascination with the German poet and writer Theodor Storm when I was 13, and even earlier the stories of Erich Kästner (especially The flying classroom) really played part in my growing imagination. Later on, a great many names of German language literature followed - some of them Hesse, Rainer Maria Rilke, Günter Grass, and in recent years Thomas Mann and Arno Schmidt, all of them really important and forming my world of ideas and taste in literature.That's why I am very delighted to share with you my first text translated in German. 📖👓✏My deep gratitude goes to a good fellow and inspiring peer Mitko Mitkov and Franziska Opel who translated and edited the German version.You can now find the text published in German and English at the online platform of Hartikel magazine. I guess I am really lucky to be able to connect with people outside my tiny sphere of thoughts, visions, and emotions. Thanks for stopping by.
